Hillary Clinton on email scandal: Everybody calm down
Politico ^ | 07/24/2015 | By JOSH GERSTEIN and HANNA TRUDO

Posted on 07/24/2015 12:38:53 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Hillary Clinton on Friday sought to downplay the latest twist in the long-running scandal over her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, saying reports of a possible criminal probe are full of inaccuracies.

News emerged on Thursday evening that at least one inspector general passed to the Justice Department evidence of potential mishandling of classified information, a referral that could lead to a criminal investigation.

Clinton on Friday said people are getting worked up over not much. “Maybe the heat is getting to everybody,” she said, in remarks before a policy speech in New York on Wall Street.

She went on to express frustration over what she called erroneous reporting. “We all have a responsibility to get this right. I have released 55,000 pages of emails. I have said repeatedly that I will answer questions before the House committee. We are all accountable to get the facts right. I will do my part. But I’m also going to stay focused on the issues, particularly the big issues that really matter to American families.”

Clinton appeared to be loose with her phrasing, however. She has not personally released any emails to the public — only to the State Department, which is reviewing them for release in monthly batches.

The controversy has dogged Clinton for five months, at times overshadowing her on the campaign trail, and presenting one of the biggest outstanding risks to her bid for the presidency. The revelation that she used a private account, which represented a break from State Department protocol, has reinforced the reputation that the Clintons are secretive and operate by a different set of rules.

paternalizing. If she was talked to like this she’d claim it was sexist.

At least she’s getting some publicity instead of Trump.

LOL

This bitch is going to crash and burn.

And I don’t think Bernie Sanders is going to beat anyone.

“used a private account”

It’s annoying how having her own server is glossed over so frequently. Her answer that it was “easier” to do this is ludicrous on the face of it. The only thing made easier by having your own entire system, is hiding information.

Yeah, "President Bernie" doesn't exactly resonate.

“Maybe the heat is getting to everybody,” she said.
“It’s the heat caused by global warming! It’s because you peasants think that you should be allowed to drive a car.
Well, only us elites are worthy to use fossil fuels!”

She nudged her campaign manager whispering, “See how I did that. Misdirection to my left hand while I palmed the coin in my right hand. Now they have forgotten all about that lousy email stuff.” *cackling *

* Campaign manager does a face palm *

Who is excited? Just the people on the staff of the committee to get Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, nominated and elected to the office of President of the United States (for whatever that position is worth, any more).

The rest of us are looking on with narrowed, hardened eyes, partly in doubt that anything substantial will ever be brought to light, and partly to try to spot the next gaffe or misstep by the cadre surrounding Herself.

When supposedly ‘conservative’ republicans stop electing Liberal republicans.

So never basically.

Oh, she is such a filthy, lying thief.

When she goes to prison, I’m going to send her a cake with files in it.

Computer files.

Nasty old crook.
